Struggling with depression & identity through childhood, diagnosed with ADHD as an adult— I know about "not reaching [your] potential," and feeling like everything is a struggle.

Beginning in middle school as a volunteer, I gained over 20 years of experience with a range of developmental and other issues before beginning grad school.

Since earning my license, my work has focused primarily on adults and teens with ADHD & ASD, chronic depression, LGBTQIA+ & identity issues.

Mindy Leake

Mindy Leake

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away

7250 Redwood Boulevard, Novato, CA

Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.

My clients often tell me that what they needed most wasn't advice — it was someone who truly listened, who could help them make sense of what they were feeling and find a path forward. That's what I'm here to do!
